The financial statement Of the Boston &
Lowell shows that for the fiscal year ending
Sept 3Oth, the net earnings we're sufficient to
pay fixed charges and 3i per cent upon the
capital stock, with balance Of S17O,357. To
this balance should be added the net earn
ings of the Northern from July to Oct. 1,
which, under the recent contract, belong to
the Boston Il Maine. The net for July and
August was $4,000. This alone, added to
the surplus of Sl7o,357, will pay the divi-
dend Of 81 per cent, due Jan. /, upon the
capital stock Of the Boston & Lowell. and

MIKE BuRNs'S LATEST.
A Scheme to Use Custom Houses as
Liquor Shops.

AUGUSTA, Nov. 22.-Mike Burnss latest
scheme is to utilize the United States custom
houses at Bath, Portland and Saco for the
sale of his imported liquor This he pro-
poses to do if the time should ever come
when the State could prevent him from keep
ing the liquors in his shop and retailing
them out He would keep the liquors stored
in the custom houses and as he sold pack
age, give the customer an order who would
proceed to the custom officials and they
would deliver him the liqnor He would
then dare the State to seize the goods from
the United States. Burns now has 200 pack
ages of imported liquors en- route to Bath
where he will enter them.

One of the best evidences of the future OF these
mines is the fact that from the beginning the out
put of bullion has paid for every dollars worth of
development Not a dollar expended which has
not come out Of the mines. Aud this means much
for the mines have not been operated much to
take out ore as to ascertain from prospecting the
true merit of the mines. However, many thou
sands of dollars were expended In dead work in
sinking prospect shafts, drifting, timberlng and
tunneling to learn the extent, richness and per-
manency of the ore lodes. These facts have been
we'll determined. During these developments
nearly Sl75,000 of bullion has been produced by
these mines and under adverse conditions.
twenty or forty-stamp mill is what the district
needs. With the present management and such
mill, the Tortilta mining district would be the
largest bullion producer in Arizona The ore is
there. The water and wood are there in abund-

these mines and the production Of bullion"
SURROUNDED WITH ALL THE CONDITIONS
FOR SUCCESS.
The fact is the TortiIita mines are surrounded
with all tho conditions necessary to prosperous

mining and mill man Of twenty years in the mines

against the blunders and incompetency of an in

cause Of so many mining failures all over the

SUNDAY IN TORONTO.
a Place whore the sabbath, is Very closely
Observed


This city Of 100000 inhabitants, with
distances from centre to circumference as
great as even larger cities, has every OBJ
stacle to strict Sabbath observance
which s'modern civilization is supposed
by some to offer. But the obstacles are
overcome. The Toronto Sabbath is THE
BARRIERS Sunday, I" The printers Sunday. !"
"The bakers Sunday, .'The butchers
Sunday"
The right to Sabbath rest is not taken
even from the conductors and drivers Of
the street cars, the post office employees
and the printers of the daily papers.
BARRIERS, grocers, butchers, bakers, tobac-
conists, confectioners, also rest. Tele-
graph operators also rest, except ten at
the central office. Druggists and milk
dealers are free most of the day. The
latter have resolved hereafter to make no
delivery on the Sabbath In cold weather.
as it is entirely unnecessary. Livery sta
bles can legally be used only for sickness
and church going, and it is expected, by
the cooperation of the drivers themselves
twho are licensed and made responsibility,
that all pleasure driving will be stopped,
aud nearly all the drivers get the whole
day for rest, the few others detained for
permitted work having part OF the day.

considerate of their servants in their sta

prohibit the renting of boats TO the poor,
while the rich man drives about in his
carriage. Three Through trains kept
up by American competition is the most
serious offence against Sabbath rest that
one sees. II is out OF control Of the city
authorities, the provincial law allowing
Sunday trains, starting in the United
States, to go through Canada to their
destination. This sort Of Sabbath is kept
up not alone out Of regard for Gods law,
but also because 1t is found to be for the
best good of man.
Efforts to get Sunday horse cars or Sun
day papers have found no popular sup
port and utterly failed. Workingmen
see that "the Sabbathwas made for man,
Druggists think ours s'horrible coun-
try" for men of their trade, in that even
half Of Sabbath is allowed them for
rest. Toronto is "a city set on hill,
"a light to tho world" as to what can
and should be done in all largo cities in
